Elijah Sarratt taken in fourth round of NFL Draft; what Baltimore Ravens are getting

BLOOMINGTON — Waffle House is opening a new location in Baltimore.

The Ravens drafted Indiana football receiver Elijah Sarratt with the No. 115 pick in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft on Saturday afternoon.

Indiana fans embraced Sarratt’s “Waffle House” nickname as he came through with one clutch reception after another for the Hoosiers. He’s the first IU receiver drafted since Denver selected Cory Latimer in the second round of the 2014 draft.

Sarratt is responsible for some of the most memorable catches in program history. He caught game-winners in back-to-back weeks against Iowa and Oregon that put Indiana on a path to the title game in Miami.

The chemistry he developed with Fernando Mendoza fueled IU’s offensive efficiency, and the back-shoulder throws between the two became a near-unstoppable weapon for the Hoosiers. He came through with Indiana’s lone touchdown in the Big Ten title game against Ohio State on that very same play call.

Sarratt, who earned second-team All-Big Ten honors in 2025, received all-conference honors in each of his four collegiate seasons.
